Hunt poised to approve £300m grant in bid to avert British Steel collapseJeremy Hunt, the chancellor, is close to agreeing to a £300m funding package for Britain's second-biggest steel producer in a move which could avert the loss of thousands of jobs, Sky News learns. Jingye, the largely unknown Chinese company that acquired British Steel almost three years ago, has pumped in just £156m since acquiring the business in a Government-supported takeover in March 2020, the Telegraph can disclose. Private profits, public losses. British Steel are you having a bubble it's Chinese owned so basically we have no cash for our cash strapped public services and a fair pay rise but will happily donate another £300m to a private owned foreign company - complete and utter madness 🤦♂️
